We will arrange a replacement or repair at no cost to you, including return shipping. DOA claims must be reported within 30 days of receipt.

A: The ZTW Bluetooth Module is a small external accessory (25×17×9mm, 5g) that connects to the ESC's signal/upgrade port

A: The ZTW LCD Program Card G2 is a handheld programming device with a backlit LCD screen that connects to the ESC's signal port via a JR connector. It provides a visual, menu-driven interface for adjusting all ESC parameters without using the transmitter stick or a mobile device. It is compatible with Beatles G2, Mantis G2, Skyhawk, Seal G2, Shark G2, and DX series ESCs. The Program Card G2 is powered by the ESC itself (no separate battery needed) and stores the last-used settings for quick reference.

What is the ZTW Bluetooth Module and which ESCs support it?

A: The ZTW Bluetooth Module is a small external accessory (25×17×9mm, 5g) that connects to the ESC's signal/upgrade port and enables wireless communication with the ZTW mobile App (iOS and Android). It allows parameter programming, real-time data viewing (voltage, temperature, RPM), and firmware upgrades without a wired connection. It is compatible with Mantis G2, Skyhawk, Seal G2, Shark G2, DX, and ZX series ESCs. Beast PRO G2 ESCs have Bluetooth built-in and do not require the external module.

What parameters can I adjust on a ZTW ESC?

A: Programmable parameters vary by series but commonly include: Throttle settings — throttle curve, startup mode/punch, drag brake, brake force, and reverse mode. Voltage protection — low-voltage cutoff type (soft/hard) and cutoff voltage per cell. BEC output — output voltage (5V/6V/7.4V/8.4V depending on model). Motor control — motor rotation direction, PWM frequency, timing advance, and for Beast PRO: BOOST timing, TURBO timing, Modified/Stock/Drift/Crawler modes. Protection — over-temperature cutoff threshold, signal-loss behavior. Advanced — for Skyhawk: governor gain and head speed; for FOC/ZX: parameterless auto-tuning.

How do I update the firmware on a ZTW ESC?

A: Firmware updates are available for most ZTW G2 series ESCs. For Beast PRO G2 (built-in Bluetooth): open the ZTW mobile App, connect to the ESC via Bluetooth, navigate to the Firmware Upgrade section, and follow the on-screen prompts. Do not power off the ESC during the upgrade — the red LED will flash rapidly during the process. For other G2 series (Mantis, Skyhawk, Seal, Shark, DX, ZX): use the optional ZTW Bluetooth Module connected to the ESC's upgrade port, then use the mobile App to update firmware. The Beatles G2 and Beast RTR series do not support firmware upgrades. Always download firmware from the official ZTW App or website.
